Thanks to a generous donation from the Friends of the Library, we now have Blu-ray Discs available for checkout. Blu-rays have greater storage capacity than regular DVDs and offer a high-definition viewing experience. Blu-rays cannot be played in regular DVD players—you do need to have a Blu-ray player (or a PlayStation 3 console) in order to use them.
This new collection is located with the “New DVDs” and is available to AHML cardholders only. They may be reserved, and there is a limit of two per cardholder. The checkout period for blu-rays—like regular DVDs—is one week. You can see a list of those we own by searching Blu-rayas a subject in the online catalog.

Date and time: Saturday, July 24, 7:30 a.m - 1 p.m.
Location: southwest corner of the Library's parking lot
When you come to the Farmer's Market this weekend, be sure to stop by the bookmobile. It has the latest books, music and movies that you can check out for your weekend entertainment needs. And since it is just across the street, it will be easy to add it into your weekly shopping routine.

The Library’s new bookmobile is making its rounds with a new look and great updates users will appreciate. The new color and graphics on the outside are just the beginning. It is three feet longer so it has more room to carry the newest books, movies, music and magazines. It also has a higher ceiling, additional skylights and better lighting. And with lower steps into the bookmobile, it is even easier to come aboard. In addition to the added space, it has a new “green” feature – a battery pack that helps save fuel by using the generator less. Check here to see when it is coming to a stop near you.

This popular monthly film discussion program is presented by Dann Gire, the film editor for the Daily Herald and a contributing corresponding critic for Ebert Presents on PBS and Raymond Benson, a film historian and novelist.

Each month offers a fun-filled evening discussing a different film theme, including film clips, cinema history, trivia and more. This month the topic is"Heeeere's Jack!" - The Films of Jack Nicholson. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

If you have a lot to do (and who doesn't these days?) and not enough time, use your computer and the Library's drive-up window to get what you need. Go online and reserve your books, movies and music. When they are ready, we'll email you, and you can pick them up at the drive-up window located in the underground parking lot. If you need to drop off materials, there's a book drop right next to it - perfect for a quick stop while out running your errands.
Don't forget, the Library's drive-up window is now open Monday–Friday, beginning at 8 a.m., so you can pick things up before you go to work.
